BF, a 37-year-old male, is scheduled for a same-day surgical procedure for hernia repair. He has no history of significant medical problems, with the exception of injuries received during his service in the military. He was given 6 units of blood following a land mine explosion 4 years ago.  At that time, his transfusions were uneventful. A sample for a "type and screen" was sent to the laboratory on the morning of the procedure. The following results were obtained. Forward Typing Reverse Typing Anti-A Anti-B Anti-D A1 Cells B Cells 0 0 4+ 4+ 4+   What is BF's ABO type?   Question 1 options:   A)  Group O   B)  Group A   C)  Group B   D)  Group AB

Submitting a text entry box, a website url, a media recording, or a file upload A Case Study On Mononucleosis Mononucleosis is an infection caused by the Epstein-Barr virus, often called the "kissing disease." It is usually seen in teens and young adults but anyone of any age can contract the virus. There is research but it is limited because mono is not a disease that must be reported to agencies during outbreaks. Instructions 1. For this assignment, visit our Virtual Library or other reliable sources and find a recent article or case study about a mono outbreak. 2. Write a short essay in which you: o summarize the outbreak, o describe the process of diagnosis, and o provide details about the therapy given to infected individuals. 3. Make sure to cite the references used in your case study or article. Note: Please…

If donating blood, which statement is true?   a)  Samarra can donate RBCs to Andrew and plasma to her children   b)  Andrew can donate RBCs to Samarra but not his children, nor can he donate plasma to anyone   c)  Andrew can donate RBCs while Samarra can donate plasma to anyone   d)  Neither Andrew nor Samarra can donate RBCs or plasma to their children

Why is the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) notified in the case of a transfusion-related fatality?   Question 9 options:   a)  To recall all banked units   b)  To determine if appropriate corrective action has been taken to prevent recurrence   c)  To report all reagent lot numbers used in typing deceased patient   d)  To disclose the name of the deceased

Jenny G. received a transfusion of 3 units of Packed Red Blood Cells last year.  She has been readmitted to the hospital and is anemic (HGB 7.1 g/dL) and has a positive antibody screen in AHG with cells I and II and her autocontrol is positive. Her panel shows agglutination in AHG for all 10 panel cells.  She types as A positive. What do these results suggest? How could you determine if this patient has an alloantibody?

What is the normal range for RBC, Hgb, HCT, WBC, and Platelet and the relevance of each to a patient with cancer

A Medical Technology staff in blood bank laboratory proceeds with weak D/Du typing in one of her blood donor who happened to be RH negative for anti-D typing.  She performed indirect antihuman globulin test (IAT) and her results revealed the presence of agglutination.Question 1: How will the MT staff reports the RH type of the donor? Support answer (with explanation). Question 2: Can a Du positive patient be classified as RH negative? Support answer (with explanation).

What is a screening test? Immunoassay Enzyme immunoassay (EAI) Enzyme-multiplied immunoassay technique (EMIT) Fluorescence polarization Radioimmunoassay (RIA) Chromatography Thin-layer chromatography (TLC) Gas chromatography (GC) Liquid chromatography (LC) (i.e, high performance liquid chromatography or HPLC) What is a confirmatory test? Hyphenated technique. Combination of two sophisticated technologies (I.e., Gas Chromatography - mass spectrometry or GC-MS) or other modern and acceptable techniques (l.e., LC-MS, GC-MS-MS, or LC-MS-MS).

A patient's antibody screen is resulted as positive. What should be done to test units for transfusion?     Question 7 options:   A)  Antigen type the patient's red cells and crossmatch units positive for the same antigens.   B)  Determine the reacting antibody and crossmatch units negative for the corresponding antigen.   C)  Crossmatch ABO compatible blood at the immediate spin phase.   D)  Determine the reacting antibody and confirm that the donor did not have any similar antibodies.
